You will need the ECU, wiring harness and all the sensor for the particular motor you are putting in, along with some other parts.

Do you already have the motor? If so, what parts do you already have? What year is the motor? Are you starting with an automatic or manual Camry? What transmission do you want to use with the new motor? What are your other plans for the car?

We will need a bit more info to help you out any more.

Well, that's not gonna happen very easily. I haven't seen somebody yet do a 3s-gte swap (in any car - Celica, MR2 or Camry) that kept an auto trans. Plan on doing an auto to manual swap at the same time.
